Going classic; on an Afternoon Tea

Scorching hot weather, the best way to deal with it is hiding myself in the air-con-ed area and… relax. I found one here; aside from the air-con-ed area, I could really enjoy greenery with my eyes as well as the touches of sweets-and-savouries in my mouth, here in Lobby Lounge of Shangri La Hotel.

Love the high floor-to-ceiling glass walls, over-looking the tranquil view of the garden.

A Classic Afternoon Tea

Priced at Rm 55 per set that served with a choice of Ronnefeldt tea or coffee.

They may not be the very best desserts in town but definitely one of a better one. I love the Opera cake which was rich, nutty and not too sweet. Tartlets were lovely too. Macaroon was lack of flavour and a bit sweet to my liking. The portion of the savouries was quite filling one (yes, I do love it); my only gripe was some of the bread were a little hard to chew on. Plain scone and sultana raisin scone were huge too, served with cream and jam; would be better if they came piping hot from the over. Still prefer the scones from Smokehouse.

The afternoon tea set is good enough to share between two (or three); the pot of tea can last for about three to four rounds; just order another pot of tea and you and your friends will be able to sit till dusk.
